6 words only people from Angus will understand
Can you think of anymore?
We are well aware that there are words that the Scots use and understand which the rest of the UK wouldn’t comprehend. We are also well aware that there are words used in Dundee, which people outside of Dundee wouldn’t understand, not even those in other parts of Scotland. But can we home in on these any further?
We set out to find out if there are any words specific to Angus which people in other parts of the country wouldn’t be able to fathom. We have come up with six words so far, can you add any more to this?
Moich
Outrageous or disgusting
"Aw that toilet is pure moich!"
Doss
Good
"Aye, that car is doss mate"
Baffies
Slippers
"Ah can't wait to get ma baffies on tonight"
Bogie
A trailer
"Yer gonnae need a bogie to shift that stuff"
Loon
A man
"There are two lassies and a loon there"
Bosie
A cuddle
"Geez a wee bosie, I've missed you"
These are just a few words that we use here in Angus, and those from outside almost certainly won't understand, but can you think of anymore to add to the list?
